Life expectancy for a pedestrian without safety vest driving on the emergency lane on the highway does not exceed 20 minutes. When a vehicle breaks down and is forced to stop on the side, all occupants must exit the vehicle from the outside to the floor and get behind the security barrier. Stay in the vehicle represents an extreme danger. The couple in their sixties, who was traveling in a motorhome yesterday on the A62 in the direction Bordeaux-Toulouse, had assimilated this precaution.
When the driver found that his vehicle had burst, he pulled over to the emergency lane, and with his wife, they are out. They were waiting and wearing a safety reflective vest when troubleshooting heavyweight violently hit the back of the camper, spraying almost in shock. The two occupants have been spared because they were outside. The trailer ended up in the ditch, he was carrying shutters. No contamination was found by rescue. Firefighters carried the slightly injured in hospital Agen.
In case of failure, it is recalled that before out of the car to get behind the slide with all the other passengers, the driver must put on his yellow vest that should be in the cabin. In the event of a puncture, do not change the wheel itself, calling for service on a terminal located every 2 km, walking behind the zipper for access.
